Name: Victoria Clark
Grade: 6th
Subject: Science Objectives: Students will be able to identify different types of precipitation and other forms of weather (sunny, humid, snowing, hale etc.).
Technologies to be used: Voice Thread, YouTube and Screencast-O-Matic
Prerequisite Knowledge: Students know that there is different weather everyday and every season. They know that there are clouds in the sky and on some days it is windy and on others the air is dry and still. The students know the water cycle (precipitation, run-off, evaporation, condensation). The six elements of weather.They can identify the four main types of clouds: cirrus, cumulus, stratus and cumulonimbus.
Wind speed and direction (learned already)
Type and amount of of clouds (learned already)
Type and amount of precipitation
Air pressure (barometric pressure)
Air temperature
Humidity
Content: Connecticut Science Standards: 6.3a Local and regional weather are affected by the amount of solar energy the area receives and proximity to a large body of water. Grade Level Concepts (10): Wind is caused by air moving from areas of low pressure... Grade Level Concepts (12): Water on Earth evaporates into the atmosphere.... Grade Level Concepts (16): Connecticut often has rapidly changing weather because...
Describe the lesson: Review previous lesson on clouds, how they are formed and what type of clouds (look at voicethread one more time). Create a KWL chart on the SMARTboard and have students tell you the things that they already know and what they want to know. Inform them that you will be watching a video by Bill Nye the science guy on how storms are made and what they do. There may be things in the video that you already learned about. If you hear or see something you learned before raise your hand and let everyone know. Have students watch Bill Nye's episode on storms. After the episode finish the KWL chart on the with the what I learned section. After that is completed allow the students to play weather game (link below). Send them to the wiki page (this one) when they have finished and watch the voki at the end of the lesson 2 page. Students will come to the teacher will something new that they learned.
Check for understanding: The chart that the students create on the SMARTboard along with the teacher. The information that they tell the teacher at the end of the lesson itself.

A fun weather game! Test yourself and see how much you know and what else you might want to learn!
